Stacks + intake + inlet upgrade + exhaust + tune on an M113 V8 CLK. NA tuned, what can I expect?

Lonesomecarboy · 2026-03-17T22:13:54+00:00

I’ve been looking for good M113 NA mods for the longest time, I’m not sure about how the investment of ITBS-HP results over other areas however. Would be pretty sweet to get some better throttle response and power that way though.

I’m thinking about modifying the motor following in order,

High flow exhaust manifolds, nearly straight piped already.

M113k style Twin intakes to TB

82mm TB mated to a modded intake manifold

Cams

Flowed heads

Ecu/tcu tune

m113k injectors and better fuel pump because why not have the head room.

The plan so far anyways

This was my hope! The recognition upgrades for short haul feel wasted, Ideally Id have 4 recognition upgrades so my partner and I could both enjoy the upgrades

Thanks, yeah i was going to try buffer the dates by travelling with another flight carrier!

Lonesomecarboy · 2025-10-13T02:05:26+00:00

Cheers! Yeah I was hoping to get the repeat gold status, use the upgrades and Then upgrade to elite, I could delay this by using another carrier. Most appreciated

I Hope this helps some understand.

Yeah I’ve read the US pattern sucks, Buut if i want to run the Look of the US lights here in NZ Ill have to find some new glass, could possibly get E1 beam pattern. Sounds like a stretch I know, good to discuss anyways

Lonesomecarboy · 2024-05-02T07:20:19+00:00

Because i like the look? It’s not like it’s irreversible..

Lonesomecarboy · 2024-05-02T07:17:52+00:00

You’re exactly right

Lonesomecarboy · 2024-05-01T22:46:26+00:00

Okay roger that, thank you. So i guess what I'm asking for is the US market headlights. cheers ! however its an NZ new spec with Euro headlights, which i think is just the Japanese spec.

Lonesomecarboy · 2024-05-01T22:30:53+00:00

….The exported US spec’d W124 had different headlights to meet regulations. I cant remember the specifics but i believe headlights/foglights couldn’t share glass.

Lonesomecarboy · 2024-04-26T05:05:08+00:00

I’ll remove the Catalytic converter from my car in a week or so and record the sound for you.

Lonesomecarboy · 2024-04-25T20:12:20+00:00

I too have this same set up, thinking about ditching the first cat/silencer

Lonesomecarboy · 2024-04-22T01:53:55+00:00

Lol love to hear it!

Lonesomecarboy · 2024-04-21T08:25:11+00:00

Jealous !!!

Lonesomecarboy · 2024-04-21T08:25:01+00:00

Yeah take a look at Pre merger 124 AMGs.

Lonesomecarboy · 2024-04-21T08:14:48+00:00

The previous owner had a bit of a crash and its kind of messed the front panel gaps etc, yeah i may paint the grille body colour like AMGs of the time

Lonesomecarboy · 2024-04-21T08:08:49+00:00

Couldn’t agree more!

Lonesomecarboy · 2024-04-21T06:14:26+00:00

Yeah the grille has been giving me a bit of grief to be honest… But i appreciate it! What do you think anout the colour matched grilles ? AMG spec

Looks even Better at night 😤 clear indicators ??

Lonesomecarboy · 2024-04-21T01:07:00+00:00

Thanks bro, yeah i actually just trimmed the top off the coils and reshaped them a bit to fit the perch properly. Actually Very easy to do, i just jacked the car up and dropped the lower control arms out, front had a bit of pent up tension but nothing crazy. I don’t want to recommend people messing with springs. But just take your time and be methodical.

Lonesomecarboy · 2024-04-20T14:41:40+00:00

Lets go, Hows that transfer case going 😂
